pibcomp(1)                                   Qualcomm Atheros Open Powerline Toolkit                                  pibcomp(1)

NAME
       pibcomp - Qualcomm Atheros Parameter Block Compare Utility

SYNOPSIS
       pibcomp [options] file file [&gt;stdout]

DESCRIPTION
       Read  and  compare  two Qualcomm Atheros powerline parameter block files and print only those objects that are different.
       It will detect and handle both old and new powerline parameter file formats.  This program is similar to program odc  but
       is  designed specifically for Qualcomm Atheros powerline parameter files.  Program odc is no longer supported and will be
       removed from future toolkit releases.

       Object driven comparison requires an object definition file that lists the size and name of data data objects (ie;  inte‐
       gers, arrays or structures) within the parameter file.  Individual data members are presented as smaller, individual data
       dumps within a larger, overall data dump.  See program pibdump for more information of object definition file format.

OPTIONS
       -f file
              The object definition file that lists the size, name and description of individual individual objects in order  of
              occurance.   If this option is omitted then object definitions are read from stdin.  The object definition file is
              not modified by this program.  See the pibdump man page for an example of an object definition file.

       -?,--help
              Print program help summary on stdout.  This option takes precedence over other options on the command line.

       -!,--version
              Print program version information on stdout.  This option takes precedence over other options on the command line.
              Use  this option when sending screen dumps to Atheros Technical Support so that they know exactly which version of
              the Linux Toolkit you are using.

ARGUMENTS
       file   The name of a binary file.  Two binary files are needed for comparison and both should conform to the object defi‐
              nition file for the comarison to be meaningful.

EXAMPLES
       The following example compares file abc.bin and def.bin and prints objects that are different in hexdump format.  Objects
       are defined in objects.txt and read using -f.

          # pibcomp -f objects.txt abc.bin def.bin
